| 141239 | 2003-05-04 03:57:00 | Hi. I have win2k pro on a P4 1.4 computer 128mb rd ram and I'm just wondering if I upgrade to Windows Xp Pro what are the benefits and new additions? |

| 141240 | 2003-05-04 04:00:00 | Don't bother - you already have the best Windows OS around - just make sure all the Service Packs and updates are installed. XP is for nOObs and kids. bah! |

| 141241 | 2003-05-04 04:04:00 | Agreed, you should get all the SP's, and update DirectX, and you should be just fine, why bother! | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||
| 141242 | 2003-05-04 04:06:00 | I guess............. Hey um, is there any ways I can replicate the windows xp theme, or themes for like my desktop taskbar etc.? Programs or something. |

| 141244 | 2003-05-04 04:24:00 | Yeah, by all means! You'll be after WindowsBlinds from Wincustomise.com and Desktop Archtect (google search for it). Download them both, then search the WinCustomise website for Luna, as that's the name of the WinXP theme, and then search the web for 'ThemeXP 2' and you should be peachy :-) WindowsBlinds will adjust the looks of the toolbars etc. and Desktop Architect will adjust the look of backgrounds and colors :-) You may want to also look into IconPackager from WinCustomise as well, as that's great for getting all the XP Icons right first time! (Can you tell Ive done this a lot? Is it really that obvious ;-)) Cheers Chilling_Silence |

XP is mostly MBs of drivers for sh*t that won't be mainstream in NZ for years. The OSs are very similar except in look and character - I guess it's just personal preference, really ;) |

| 141247 | 2003-05-04 04:36:00 | Oh that should be good. I am also interested in the 64bit version of Windows XP/03? which when coupled with the Athlon64/Hammer will be some awesome computing power. |
